Last month the Relief Society Presidency did a primary sharing time. We explained the RS Declaration with props and 3 or 4 sentences. One of the items that I talked about was "Delight in service and good works." I told the kids we would be making hygiene kits for the humanitarian services of the church and asked them to bring bars of soap to contribute. Today we assembled the kits - the kids had lots of fun and couldn't wait to get in line to make another one.

This little group of kids completed 62 kits in about 20 minutes ( and 15 more that only need soap)! This was the best humanitarian project we have done so far. We are going to try it on a ward level if we can gather enough stuff or get enough donations to buy more.
The kids usually make great helpers...especially if it's fun! What a great idea you had to bring them with you! I have a house that could use some (never ending) cleaning....could you send them my way!?
ReplyDeleteI can't get over what a great idea this was, a perfect service project for primary kids! The pictures of Lexi and Brandon helping was really cute too!
